Riding for Roses

Fighting cancer is hard. It is many diseases. It requires many cures. The cures have side effects ranging from annoying to awful. How can we fight such a multi-headed beast? Start with some simple steps:

1. Join what Austin Murphy calls Amstrong’s Army of cancer advocates. This is the online registration to be involved in the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s advocacy actions.
2. Donate to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and support Spencer in the Livestrong Challenge Ride. We are riding 40 (70 if Spencer can convince me) miles to fight cancer on October 8, 2006. Spencer wants to raise $15,000 or more to support the LAF.

They are simple, concrete steps. You can do them right now. If you do not like donating online, you can download a form and mail it. If you do not want to donate, please sign up for the advocacy group. It will give you the opportunity to remain aware of national issues and the chance to advocate for funding and support in the fight against cancer.
